## The Landlords of the Kingdom&#x20;

Become the permanent landlord of a plot of Banana Kingdom land in one of our 4 regions by owning a **Battle Kong**. Kong's are 12,000 randomly generated PFP avatars with over 750 unique rarity traits, hand designed by Canadian artist Stevo over a 7 month period from 2021-2022.  Battle Kong holders receive 20% of all [6 game tokens](https://ape-fun.gitbook.io/afg-whitepaper/banana-kingdom-game/crafting-and-battling-the-tokens-you-need) spent on their land as well as all the features of the land dashboard below. Battle Kong's will be releasing on Ethereum V2 later in 2022, specific date TBA.

## Your Land Dashboard

This dashboard allows you to do an array of things that increase earnings and player retention. Enjoy!

#### Land Dashboard: Recruiting

New players are randomly assigned to a plot of land based on an algorithm that distributes new players evenly across each region. Land owners have the ability to recruit new players from outside the game, and when that player begins the game, they begin on the land owners plot. This feature is useful if the land owner has friends, family, or an attractively developed plot of land.&#x20;

#### Land Dashboard: Removal of Tribes and Wanderers

Land owners can kick any wanderer or tribe from their land. These kicked players are moved to the closest open plot of land. This feature is useful if your plot's maxed out with non active players, or if you want to allow a specific tribe or player access to your plot but there isn't any space.

#### Land Dashboard: Communication

Land owners have the ability to communicate with all Wanderers and Tribal Chiefs on their land. This is key when it comes to asset lending and tournament strategy.

#### Land Dashboard: Asset Lending

Land owners will have the ability to lend any weapon or gear item they've crafted - or bought in the Marketplace - to any player on their land. This feature not only enhances a player, or tribes ability to win in PvP or TvT (tribe vs tribe) battles, it helps an active land owner increase their earnings.

#### Land Dashboard: Tournament Prize Pools

Once a monthly tournament begins, all tribes are locked to the plot of land they occupy. If a tribe on your land wins the tournament, you receive 10% of the prize pool. This is all trackable through your land dashboard.

#### Land Dashboard: Development Collaboration with Builders on Your Land

Builder NFT holders have a unique purpose within the game, they're peaceful by nature, and all about protecting players, and preventing losses in battle. We won't give away all the details but we'll say this, as a land owner you'll be able to collaborate with Builders to craft defensive buffs that you can apply to all players on your land. Builders and land owners will be able to earn more from this collab.
